There are lots of birders in the Fredericton area who would love to 
have Golden Eagles around. In New Brunswick, Golden Eagles are 
normally seen singly, extremely rarely as two together. Nine in one 
tree seems more likely to refer to immature/subadult Bald Eagles.

I know of only two reports of Golden Eagle in New Brunswick this 
winter: one Dec. 1 near Beechwood (upper St. John valley) and one 
Jan. 21 at Harvey (upper Bay of Fundy).  Photos of the latter are 
viewable at http://homepage.mac.com/maryspt/observ/GOEA2007.html .
